I wrote this Friday: I have Hand Foot and Mouth Disease (which is a virus not a disease). Most adults do not get this. Most daycare children do. Sanne and I flip-flopped that: I got it, she did not. It feels like you are walking on hot glass, you can barely drink and certainly not…

the mini pod ep in which i talk to myself
Does it count as Feel Good Friday if I recorded it on Friday and talked exactly zero minutes about how grateful I am because while I am indeed grateful for some stuff, shit’s been crazy over here? I am your celebrity and my celebrity because I am funny and have a unique perspective and way…
42 is a quiet birthday | feel good friday 090426
And quiet not just because I’ve been sick since I posted about my good health—it was only a temporary return, apparently—and flying with whatever I had has rendered me unable to hear appropriately out of first my right ear, then my left, and now both are at about 50%. It’s stupid. We went to northern…
Funny | 061226
It’s a bold move to title a post Funny. I’m in a funny mood. I’m amped—it feels like there’s more motion and activity in my job search/work search than ever. It feels like there’s motion in podcasting and h.e.n.r.y. and emceeing and all sorts of Brand Lyssa things (barf). I’m happy—I got to attend the…

AI, VB, AWM | Feel Good Thursday 020526*
We head off on Super Bowl Ski Weekend IX tonight! There is no way to adequately express how grateful I am for this group of incredible humans, who have gathered together for almost a decade to ski, watch football, and laugh more than anyone ever thought possible. This week has been intense on all fronts,…
FIRST Feel Good Day of 2026 | 011226
Regular readers know that FGF has been sporadic at best throughout the past year—not because gratitude is less important by any stretch, but perhaps because I’ve been less chronically online. So I think it’s time we move to FGD: Feel Good Day. Whatever day I post. I will still aim for Fridays, but this is…
2026: The Year of Softness
I wanted to paint the feeling of letting go But when you have a baby, nothing goes according to plan and that’s part of letting go so I asked AI to do it … … and I don’t like it. Which helped me understand that the word of the year isn’t actually letting go (it’s…
Never enough time in the day | Feel Good Friday 121925
The days are short, the evenings are long. Wait—that’s not the phrase?! But that’s how I feel with a baby … there’s just never enough time to get everything done, and she’s the most important thing, so I just hang out with her and let the rest fall by the wayside. Including my gratitude lists…
Feel Good Friday 111425
Here are a bunch of random things I am grateful for this week. I’m skipping the incredible MCT trip and Halloween, there will never be enough words to express my gratitude for that framily and not even food poisoning could stop us from having an incredible week together. I love y’all. Now onto the usual…
